INTERVIEW with Amy Beers & the Inspiration Behind the Indy Beer Mile

"I used to work on a cruise ship and have also done quite a bit of traveling...when I came back to Indy and I was riding around downtown on my bike one day ...it's like I discovered the city with a new set of eyes. I thought to myself 'Wow...Indy is really diverse!' ... and I knew we had a lot of really great restaurants ...but seeing it in a new way inspired me to share this new perspective by creating the Indy Beer Mile. And while I still encourage travel because we can't necessarily replicate a culture, we can certainly learn and experience a taste of aspects of different cultures right here in our own city."
